no Gami for me

I've been running my 79 P337 for 14 years now. I have Riley intercoolers. In the "old" days I used to lean aggressively, but still within the book numbers, modified by Riley. Burned through many cylinders. Eventually I reached the conclusion with my maintenance manager that I was running too lean. So since being a little more generous with fuel, and giving a bit more fuel on climb, I stopped burning through cylinders for years now. If I choose to use less GPH, I'll just cut the power setting back, open my POH, go to the altitude/performance tables, and see what my fuel burn should be at that power setting. Then I fly the settings. I think trying to save fuel by paying for GAMI injectors is the wrong end of the telescope. Save fuel by flying at less power, and save the engine by running a bit richer.
